Back to the present! :)

"These symptoms are a cause of your stress. Please refrain from such a load of work and take the prescribed medicine."

"Yes, thank you so much." Rose bowed down as thanks to the doctor that had just checked him.

"What did the doctor say?" Devon greeted Rose outside of the door, he was holding a bottle of water in his hand, "Oh, I got this while the doctor was checking you."

"Thank you..." Rose took the bottle and took a sip, breathing heavily. He was still feeling the fatigue up his head.

"Where are you heading next? You should go straight home." Devon said, watching Rose.

"Oh, I have to buy the prescribed medicine..." Rose said, taking a piece of paper from his bag, "Sorry, I'm feeling quite nauseous." Rose said after almost tumbling over when he looked at his bag.

"I'll take it," Devon smiled, taking the piece of paper from Rose's bag.

"Sir Ambrose!"

Both males looked in the direction the voice came from.

"August," Rose greeted.

"We should go now, what did the doctor say?" August asked, worried.

"I'm fine, we just have to buy some medicine..." Rose said, gently taking the piece of folded paper from Devon's hand.

"Thank you, Dev," Rose said, "We'll be leaving now."

"Wait!" Devon stopped both August and Rose, "May I have your phone number?" Devon scratched the back of his head, blushing.

"Ah..." Rose stopped.

August silently excused herself, letting the two have their private time.

Devon handed his phone to Rose. Rose started typing his phone number, handing the phone back to the taller man.

"Thank you," Devon smiled, "Take care of yourself."

"Mm, thank you. You too." Rose said, a tint of pink appearing on his cheeks.

"Any news?" Rose asked.

"Sir Ambrose, don't push yourself too hard," August answered.

"I need to find out who he is," Rose said, frustrated.

"Sir Ambrose, a delivery was sent to you." Reese, one of Rose's workers, entered the room.

"Who is it from?" Rose asked, sipping water from his tumbler.

"Zephyr-"

"Hand it over." Rose didn't even let Reese finish speaking.

"Okay, sir..." Reese places the paper bag on top of Rose's office table.

"Who is Zephyr?" August asked him.

"It's Devon's surname." He proceeded to open the bag. He saw pastries from Yale's Bakery, a bottle of water, and a note.

I'm sorry I had to search for your company for this. I hope I sent it to the right address and you will get better soon.
